Co-founder & CEO, Mirsee Robotics
Mechanical design lead who has spent eight years building humanoid robots from the ground up — hands, actuators, and vision systems, all designed in-house.
Tarek co-founded Mirsee Robotics in 2017 with Robert Ings, driven by a personal motivation: both had aging parents in need of care, and they envisioned humanoid "avatars" that could extend remote caregiving and skilled work into places people couldn't easily reach.
Since then he's led the design of over 1,000 robotic subcomponents and complex systems, earning a reputation as a mechanical design virtuoso focused on giving machines genuinely human-like manual capability.
Mirsee designs and manufactures teleoperated humanoid robots — controlled remotely by skilled human operators via VR and haptic feedback — rather than chasing full autonomy. The goal, in Tarek's words, is to target jobs that are "dirty, dangerous, and remote."
The technology stack rests on three pillars: proprietary hydrostatic actuators for precision, VR-based control for operators, and AI layered on top for continuous improvement. Their latest model, MH3, is currently in pre-production.
Rather than replacing workers, Mirsee's teleoperated robots aim to extend human capability into hazardous or distant locations — elder care, surgical robotics, power plants, oil rigs, water treatment, and nuclear facilities among the target applications.
Tarek's mechanical expertise pairs with Robert Ings' electronics and commercialization background — a combination investors have pointed to as a rare complementary skill set for an early-stage hardware venture.
